Steamboat on chinese new year eve during confinement

Question

Hello fellow mummies, my edd is during cny nxt year. Assume i deliver earlier, before cny eve, my PIL want to have reunion dinner steamboat at my place on CNY eve while im doing confinement. Im not having confinement nanny, so just hub and me taking care of the baby. And most likely im gg for elective c-sec, so i will need even more rest.  Should i reject the idea of having steamboat at my place? I really duno how tired i will be as this will be my 1st baby. Im trying to keep housework to the minimal, hence i have ordered confinement meal instead. Although my MIL will try to help, but i cannot imagine the aftermath of a steamboat dinner for 6 pax. And can i eat steamboat during confinement?#advicepls #firsttimemom

Yes, you should consider rejecting. I’m a c sect mom too, and oh dear the “fourth trimester” hits me hard. Having a newborn is not easy. And confinement is like our last chance to sleep and rest properly. Too precious to be “wasted” on events like this. But that’s just me. You do you.
